I noticed the rankings are only 1-25 right now. We won't see the top 75 until the computer rankings later in the season? Do you think this has todo directly with you predicting the rankings? Maybe they are trying to stop you from doing that?
THANKS Bobby!
Pablo, they are trying to make the pre-computer poll rankings more uniform with what you see in other sports. Also it's tough to ask a committee to be able to rank 75 teams when most only know their respective conferences and regions. I don't start with the ranking projections until they go to the computer because up until then there's no way for me to know what's in a committee's mind (unlike a computer which follows a known formula).
